Jay David

Winner of Best Event Photographer by Urban-X 2025

As an ex-video game developer with 16 years of experience on titles like Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and Apex Legends, I transitioned to another passion: photography. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege to work with clients like Vans, Google, Marriott, Netflix, and Playboy. My photojournalistic style has even earned me an award with Urban-X Awards. I’m dedicated to capturing genuine moments, not following trends, and I approach every event with a commitment to the craft and love for the art. This journey from game development to photography has allowed me to create and capture the best moments.

"I am so happy that you caught so many of these wonderful moments. I'm just I'm beyond thrilled. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
